<p>Happy January! &nbsp;</p>
<p>I hope your New Year has started off well for everyone. &nbsp;For the 2012 season we are offering a Meat CSA. &nbsp;The meat CSA will consist of a combination of beef, lamb, pork and poultry (when available). &nbsp;Two different packages are available for purchase. &nbsp;Each share will consist of approximately 50% ground meats, 25% steaks and 25% roasts. &nbsp;Roasts may be replaced by whole chickens or ducks or geese when available. &nbsp;Each share will be 3 months in duration. &nbsp;Those of you who know us will know that we often sweeten the pot with whatever we have extra in the freezer. &nbsp;Occasionally we will have spent laying chickens that make fantastic chicken stock, soup bones, smoked bones for your dogs, rabbit, eggs, &nbsp;who knows!!!???</p>
<p>The Meat CSA will be available to start about the first week of February, depending on when I can pick up the beef and lamb from the butcher. I should be able to start dishing out the goods by <strong>Feb 7th</strong> or so. &nbsp;The Meat CSA is a great way to sample a whole lot of everything we have to offer here on the farm. &nbsp;I hope to continue the Meat CSA year round as we should have a growing inventory of farm fresh meats. &nbsp;These are simply examples of what you will get each month when you pick up your share, every month will be different, every share will be different. &nbsp;The chickens can be picked up fresh, the rest of the meats will be frozen, vacuum sealed and USDA inspected. &nbsp;The chickens and ducks<em>&nbsp;</em>will likely be processed here on the farm under USDA exemption PL 90-492. &nbsp;</p>
<p>We will not be making substitutions.</p>

<p>A word of warning to those looking for cheap prices on meat. &nbsp;We raise quality products from quality breeds so we price accordingly. &nbsp;We evaluate local market prices and price our meats according to the quality breeds that we raise.</p>
<p>Our lamb is the Katahdin breed which we think is the best meat breed for lamb there is. &nbsp;If you've said you don't like lamb, then you've not tried the Katahdin breed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our beef is Belted Galloway Grass Fed-Beef. &nbsp;These steers take 3 years before they are ready to eat. &nbsp;The flavor of the beef tells the story. &nbsp;Even the ground beef will make the best hamburger you've ever tasted.t.</p>
<p>Our chickens will vary. &nbsp;At times we will have traditional cornish cross chickens which are superb when raised on pasture. &nbsp;Other times we will have a chicken called a Freedom Ranger which takes twice as long to grow out but has an even more intense chicken flavor. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Our pork will vary as we do not own breeding stock but will buy piglets to raise on pasture.</p>
<p>Our laying hens are heritage breeds with vibrant colored eggs and so while the eggs are fantastic the hens do not lay consistently and therefore are not as productive as other breeds. &nbsp;We think you should enjoy the color of your egg shells as much as the eggs themselves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meat CSA: $7.50/lb for 10 lbs of meat per month over 6 months- 60 lbs total &nbsp;- Pay $450 upfront for entire 6 months</p>
<p>$7.00/lb for 15lbs or more meat per month CSA over 6 months - Payable up front - 15 lbs/month = 90 lbs = $630</p>
<p>Meat CSA will include grass fed lamb, grass fed beef, pastured pork, pastured poultry. &nbsp;We will mix up the varietyand cuts each month. &nbsp;No organs - just cuts, steaks, roasts, ground, sausage and whole chicken.</p>
<p>Whole lamb: $7.50/lb hanging weight - sausage extra per butcher prices (currently $1.99/lb extra)</p>
<p>$10/lb kabobs - shoulder meat</p>
<p>$9/lb lamb sausage</p>
<p>$9/lb whole hog sausage - sage, italian and apple sausage</p>
<p>Pastured chickens: &nbsp;$4.50/lb - whole chickens only.</p>
<p>Pastured turkeys: &nbsp;$4.50/lb - bronze broad breasted turkey&nbsp;</p>
<p>Free range eggs - $7.50 dozen &nbsp;20 week egg share = $100 for 20 dozen eggs&nbsp;</p>
<p>Call or email for beef prices as they vary.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please contact other local CSA farms soon as spots fill up quickly this time of the year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We will continue to sell grass fed lamb and beef in 2012 as well as limited production of grass fed chickens, turkeys and ducks this year. &nbsp;We will have a limited supply of whole hog sausage this year as well so when you see the email for whole hog sausage, respond quickly or you will miss out.&nbsp;</p>
